Best Approach to Receive Email of a particular account under asp.net core

We need to setup a mechanism of receiving email of a particular Account of a Domain, Just like normal ticketing system reply emails.

Found some of the sources of how it could be achieved.

Either Go For Custom Solution

Send Grid Web Hooks

The Other Ready to go solution is Send Grid, but the problem with send grid is it monitors each and every email of domain, i can filter them at my end but still it doesn't seem good approach keeping the security prospect in mind. Here our Approach could be , can create a sub domain under the domain and receive those emails

I am currently using send grid for sending emails

Looking forward , what could the best, reliable and scalable approach and the pros and corns of it.

Simply write a C# program to receive emails of that particular box as follows:

var client = new POPClient();
client.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, true);
client.Authenticate("[email protected]", "YourPasswordHere");

var count = client.GetMessageCount();

// use a for loop to get the subject / message
Message message = client.GetMessage(count);

Console.WriteLine(message.Headers.Subject);

// message.Headers.From.Address; 
// from address
// messagePart.BodyEncoding.GetString(messagePart.Body);
// message body

modify the above program so that, after receiving the email, the system

  1. inject the subject and message into a db record
  2. generate a ticket number
  3. reply to the sender that a ticket (# xxxxxx) has been issued
  4. follow up all the correspondence using this ticket (store all the correspondence in the db record)
